Yea, pot, kettle and all that but the difference in performance this time isn't allowing me to justify that next tier price difference.
Come on Greg.. past purchases and all that!!

i posted in the other thread but the 6800XT Sapphire Nitro+ OC at £615 is a performance bargain. If 3080 the MSI Suprim X or the Asus Strix OC would be my choice but i can’t find a price for them to compare other than £1350inc.

So you buying a 3080 then Gregster?Yea, pot, kettle and all that but the difference in performance this time isn't allowing me to justify that next tier price difference.
3090 is terrible value for games but it is great for compute heavy and vram heavy tasks which is what it was marketed for. It has way more vram ang higher bandwidth than 3080 oh and way bigger cooler.
6900XT has nothing more than 6800XT except few extra cores.

Lol I do find it funny when people make such statements.
Yeah it is indeed such a shame they didn't have infinite resources to tackle both CPU and GPU markets after being close to bankrupt for years
What's funny about it? They developed a decent GPU arch that would have done extremely well 12 months ago. Instead they decide to launch just after Ampere with poor RT support, nothing to combat DLSS yet and no dedicated cores to off load such workloads too.
What is Hopper and RDNA 3 going to change? Consoles will still be the lead platform.

I doubt it, as the 10GB does have me a little worried bud, so looking more like a 6800 XT for me but at the same time, I doubt I will have the funds for my gaming room, as the Mrs has booked 2 cruises for next year, so no Freesync. I might even just sit it out and wait for the next gen!So you buying a 3080 then Gregster?
Did AMD decide to do that or did Nvidia simply get the jump on them?
in that case you will need a decent gaming laptop to take with you lol
oh and maybe starlink broadband...

I would happily part with £650 for a Sapphire. I have been keeping an eye out but no luck but at the same time, I am in no rush.

Nvidia launched Turing on the 20th September 2018. As expected, 2 years later, they launched Ampere. When was the last time AMD took the performance crown?

Oh I dunno. Its like you think AMD sat around doing sod all in all that time

Nope, I think AMD brought out a decent product too late to be of any real use. They cut too many corners designing a gaming card with the result being that in ~12 hours one of the most anticipated games will launch, while AMD have not even enabled RT on their cards.
That's on the assumption people want / like RT. For each person it differs - I don;t care much for RT and don't game @ 4k so the 6800XT was a good purchase.
You seemingly really go for RT, making the 3080 a better choice for yourself.
It's OK the games going to be so buggy, it won't matter what GFX you've got
tbh now I've got an upgrade that gives me smooth 75fps (max my UW can do) I'm going back to older games that my old card couldn;t perform well on - really enjoying Hitman 2 atm
